A Reasonable Tournament

The Bristol Vanguard Campaign Weekend is over! What a great weekend! The forces of the Imperial Guard came a not-to-shabby 4th place in the team stakes, while the forces of Chaos managed to ravage the planet before it was finally destroyed........huh, isn't war pointless!

Just before i attended the tournament, i saw that Forgeworld had released a revised army list for the Krieg. It is a vast improvement on the old list, updating it with all the new features found in the new Guard Codex. Krieg squads are cheaper, you can take more tanks, and the questionable Orders issue (wither or not Krieg can use the Orders system) is cleared up right there in black and white! However, the new list does dispense with the special ammunition for the Heavy Mortar, much to the delight of Kreigs enemy's!!

With this in mind, i have written a new 1750pt list for the Korps. It hasnt changed to much, but i have dropped the Engineers squad and the Breaching Drill in favour of 2 Platoons of Guardsmen; 3 squads with Platoon Command Squads and special weapons. I also dropped the Demolisher and added another Medusa Siege Gun!! Cant get enough of those guys! The new list increased the range for these bad boys to a massive 120inches! Now there is no escape from the Big Guns! The list is below if you are interested!
